While they were caring for two extra kids {their nephews}, these parents decided to forge ahead with our photos.
Two parents with three adorable moving pieces {and two others running around the lawn and dock.} Kids know how to be cute, but it’s a challenge to get them to do it in unison. Here’s what we got.
The other day, I had the occasion to drop by Little Miss Fidget’s house. She had endless energy and an appetite for direction. Miss Fidge had an idea for every shot (not always the same idea I had.) So, we tried everything several ways. Here’s our collaboration, so to speak.
You have to love her gorgeous hair; it even looks great when tousled. And you’ll see her pooh bear, who turned 40 this year. He has had a little “work” done to stay looking so good.
So, I am sitting here in the kitchen of our lake house at Smith Mountain Lake and editing photos before the kids get up. Here are a smattering a photos from the vacation so far. There may be more tomorrow if I get my bum out of bed early enough.
We had an impromptu session with Hollywood, whose real name is Linder Lue Lawrence. She’ll tell you she’s going to be a star, and that you might not see her next week, because she’s going to California to be in the movies. She loves her birthday, too.
I have to give photo credit to my four-year-old, who took the first two photos (not bad for a small kids with a big DSLR). Hollywood is a character. You’ll see.
Here are more of the photos that I got from yesterday’s shoot. i heart faces only wants one photo per entry. I held out on you yesterday, but here are the rest. Enjoy, SPL
I don’t tell everyone this, but I am crafty. Yes, I make crafts (but not in the hot glue gun kind of craft way, or the macaroni angel wreaths kind of way… not that there’s anything wrong with that– well, there is, but that’s a topic for another day.)
So today, I am releasing my inner-crafter as I saw this on Photojojo a few weeks ago. It mixes photography and cool crafting. That is something that I am all for. See the how-to’s here.
Maybe it’s time to release your inner craftiness. Throw down the fake flowers and floral foam and pick up a few photos, some scissors, tape, ruler and pen and try this…
So, the other day I showed you the Holga action. It makes me want to buy one.
Today, long live the polaroid. Last year, Polaroid decided that it would bring back the instant camera. Pre-order yours at the Polaroid website.
But, if you want the look of a Polaroid without the camera, try this: polaroid action. I think the results look pretty cool. I took relatively uninteresting snaps and turned them into kitsch. Enjoy. SPL
P.S. I do have a friend working on yesterday’s data nightmare. Thank goodness for computer-programming friends. More new photos to come soon.
I have just had a little data accident. Well, not a little one. The beautiful little, portable hard drive where I was storing almost all of my edited files got disconnected from the computer without being properly ejected. Oops… All my lovely files are now hanging out in that tiny black machine/drive ready to be reclaimed by a nerd in shining, pocket-protected armor.
Help me. I have tried to find software to fix it myself, but they all cost a fortune. Do you know anyone who has data recovery software? Email me if you do at [email protected].
Help me if you can?
Sorry, no new photos today. I’ll have to edit some old ones or just take more. That shouldn’t be a problem.
I don’t have one of these cool, little things, but I can look like I do. I found a cool Holga action that turned my normal photos into the interesting moody images below. And it’s free. Help yourself by clicking here.
